I take it the Juke doesn't have a hill holder feature??
My Accord has one (not mentioned anywhere though, that I know of, odd...), but it seems to have a mind of its own (read: don't depend on it)

Thanks! No hill-hold that I know of. Just my feet and hands! I'll double-check the [owner's] manual, though....

You should know if you have hill hold as for the first few weeks/months it will feel entirely unnatural until you get used to it. With hill hold, there is NO roll back on hills at all for a short period of time. So your brain will want you to start rolling back slightly and will be extremely confused when you stay still and can more casually move from brake to gas pedal.

At least that was my experience when I started driving my Mazda 3 that has hill start feature.

Definitely no hill hold, then. Too bad! How does hill hold work, mechanically? Is it like an extra brake?

Hill Hold uses the ability of the ABS and information from the stability control sensors to keep the brakes applied for a short interval after your foot comes up off the brake pedal if the vehicle is on an incline that exceeds the threshhold value.
